Second language changes the way bilinguals read in their native tongue

clipper's remarks: Do bilinguals have an internal switch that stops their two languages from interfering with each other, or are both languages always "on"?

Clip Source: bps-research-digest.blogspot.com

The fact that bilinguals aren't forever spurting out words from the wrong language implies there's some kind of switch.

in 2007, brain surgeons reported evidence for a language switch when their cortical prodding with an electrode caused two bilingual patients to switch languages suddenly and involuntarily.

On the other hand, there's good evidence that languages are integrated in the bilingual mind.

bilinguals are faster at naming an object when the word for that object is similar or the same in the two languages they speak (e.g. ship/schip in English and Dutch).

even when bilinguals read sentence after sentence in their native tongue, access to words in their second language remains open, rather than switched off, thus having an effect on the way the native language is processed.

"Becoming a bilingual means one will never read the newspaper again in the same way," they concluded. "It changes one of people's seemingly most automatic skills, namely, reading in one's native language."

Fantastic food and more: No Reservations Philippines

clipper's remarks: Great sampling of Filipino food and people. Carlos Celdran and other fun guides could've been there but Ivan Man Dy, Claude Tayag (and his intelligent and charming wife), and our beloved Market Man, Joel Buenamira did a good job taking Tony Bourdain around.

Broken, Unbroken

The lonely
stand in dark corners

of their hearts.

I have seen them
in cities,

and in my own neighborhood,

nor could I touch them
with the magic

that they crave

to be unbroken.
Then, I myself,

lonely,

said hello to
good fortune.

Someone

came along
and lingered

and little by little

became everything
that makes a difference.

Oh, I wish such good luck

to everyone.
How beautiful it is
to be unbroken.

clipper's remarks: excerpt from Kindness by Naomi Shihab Nye.

Read entire poem at source.

Clip Source: www.37days.com

Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to mail letters and
purchase bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
it is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you every where
like a shadow or a friend.

When I wear red underwear, I can do anything.

there’s a little thing called NLP going on here, or — big word coming — neuro-linguistic programming. (For more info on NLP check out Tim’s blog here). It’s basically taking an object, a symbol, a gesture, or a movement and turning it into a trigger. It’s programming yourself to react or feel a certain way when an event is triggered. It’s part power of suggestion, part power of intention.

You’ve probably felt this way before with a lucky hat or a piece of jewelry that means a lot to you.

Whatever it is, there’s some serious awesomeness going on there.

The key is to take that unintentional programming and apply it intentionally.

use triggers in your routine to help you create certain emotional states. Ideally, the key is to be able to set off triggers anywhere, so you’re not dependent on something else (like listening to a song, or watching a scene from a movie)

Instead of letting things trigger emotional responses within you on accident, it makes more sense to do it on purpose, right?

Conventional wisdom holds that you only get what you pay for, but the real free geek knows that with the right knowledge (and maybe a charming smile) pretty much anything, even the good stuff, can be had for less or in the best case scenarios nothing at all. Despite this, there are a number of things out there that don't seem to scream "free" majority of the time (MIT being one). Here's a list of a few free things that might surprise you.

Classes at MIT

Language Lessons

Business Education

Computer Classes

Museum Admission

Concerts, Movies and Shows

Pets

Gym Membership

Photo Prints

411 Service

Phone Calls

Email Reminders

Ice Cream

Used Books

Household Items

Makeup

Face Cream

Good Samples

Comic Books

CPR Courses

Legal Music

Coffee

While not everything you want can always be free, there are a lot of free things out there for the taking if you know when to go and where. So take advantage of this list, and start getting all the free stuff you deserve (you've worked hard for it).

White House enemy No. 1: Rush Limbaugh

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has seen the enemy, and his name is Rush Limbaugh.

President Barack Obama's team is helping lead an effort to cast Limbaugh, a polarizing, conservative talk radio show host, as the Republican Party's new face, using campaign-style attacks against a high profile target.

Democrats are taking advantage of a power void within the Republican Party now that George W. Bush has passed from the scene.

"They need a demon to distract and divert from what their agenda is," he declared on his show. "They need a demon about whom they can lie so as to persuade average Americans that they're the good guys.
